The SCHOFIELD'S BAR story
With over 25 years of experience collectively, bartender brothers Joe and Daniel Schofield always had a vision to return to their home city of Manchester to open their eponymous venue;
SCHOFIELD’S BAR.

SCHOFIELD’S BAR graces the corner of Sunlight House, one of the most iconic buildings in the north of England.

The art deco masterpiece of architect Joseph Sunlight was the tallest building in Manchester upon completion during the 1930s, a decade of great importance for cocktail culture. An era of grand and luxurious bars, known for their hospitality and classic cocktails.

Please note that we are only able to accept a handful of reservations each day as we are a walk-in led venue so please do not be put off visiting us if you are unable to reserve. All reservations are only guaranteed 2 hours at the table.

Been to many bars, worked in a few, but this place was my best experience in a while. We got attention from begining to the end, service is 10/10. Cocktails we’re balanced, absolutely delicious. They serve draught Guinness, nice finish for our visit. Peek of bar craftmanship!

What a great place. Lovely welcome. Attentive service, but not overly so. Fabulous selection of cocktails plus inventions not on the list. The food is enough to keep you going and the atmosphere is just right. A great place to celebrate our anniversary and two glasses of bubbly as a house treat. What’s not to like?
